Sure. But it is the now-entrenched habits that are the problem.
The overuse of PowerPoint for purposes of which neither of us

reinforces the behaviors).
Anyone for incorporating a slide (!) into the Newcomer's

that makes extensive use of PowerPoint decks with many and/or
dense slides brands the presenter as either a newcomer, someone
who is trying to avoid an actual discussion, or a fool"? :-(
